I am guessing you lump everyone you don't like in to that category. Sorry mate.

I'm sorry that you don't like the fact that most Muslim jihadists are reactionary rightwingers, but that doesn't change the fact that they are.

I mean, I get the fact that most reactionary American rightwing extremists really hate and fear Muslims, but that doesn't magically transform them into liberals. They're hardcore religious nut jobs - anti-abortion, anti-evolution, anti-pornography, opposed to sex outside of marriage, in favor of harsh anti-drug laws, opposed to feminism, virulently anti-homosexual. Those sure as shiat ain't "leftie" positions, dude. Substitute "Jesus" for "Allah" and they could be Pat Robertson

So yeah, most of the folks speculating the last few days that these were rightwing nutjobs were correct. Of course, any speculation that they were teabaggers, or anti-government libertarian types were just plain wrong. They're not Aryan Nation, or Army of God, or Sovereign Citizens, just their Muslim counterparts

Not sure how he could have escaped through that show of force last night. If I had to guess I'd say he was either wounded and bled out somewhere and they haven't found the body or he ate a gun and they haven't found the body yet.

jonathan_L:muck4doo: jonathan_L: muck4doo: Thanks for the answer. My son is going to graduate from Baylor next month, and is in the Army ROTC(was originally in Air Force ROTC, but funding got cut). They've had him studying Russian for four years.

Is he good with languages? Another 1 or 2 languages under his belt will really help him.

Yes, he is. I'm sure not. He speaks English, Russian, and Spanish.

If he has time/inclination, I'd suggest he also look into Farsi/Persian or one of the Afghan languages.

Knowing him, he would love that. I'm Mexican(raised in CA), his mom is half Jewish/half Italian. He speaks better Spanish than I do.

Silly Jesus:They are using a military style vehicle to approach. FARK has told me that those are a waste of money for police departments to have and a needless militarization of the police. FARK, you have let me down in so many ways the past couple days. Why FARK, why?!?!

it's needed for situations like this, but every other time they just used it to raid the homes of people suspected of doing bad. I should know, about 10 years ago I woke up to have a militarized swat team of local cops holding assault rifles to my face. Turned out there was someone who gave false information about a family member staying with us and they decided to go full on Waco on the house my elderly parents were staying in. I happened to be visiting from college. Totally unnecessary and they found absolutely nothing but nearly gave everyone staying there a heart attack as well as putting everyone in danger since it was mostly local cops wanting to use their new toys

I wish I as as close minded as you. It must be a nice life never having to consider there are any opinions worth worrying about other than mine.
